The first race weekend of the CIGT Sprint, held on the historic Imola track, marks the beginning of a new professional chapter for the young driver from Pescara, who will compete for the first time in a Lamborghini Hurac\u00e1n Super Trofeo EVO2 for the DL Racing team.  <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI can&#8217;t wait to get back on track for the first race weekend of the year. I&#8217;ve worked so hard over this winter break to be as ready as possible for the start of the season. We&#8217;ve worked really well with the team and Pietro in the tests in preparation for the championship, and I&#8217;m sure that by continuing to work in this direction, we&#8217;ll bring home excellent results,\u201d said Mattia.  <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We&#8217;re ready to capitalize on the work we&#8217;ve done so far to compete at the highest level in this series and give it our all,&#8221; confirmed his teammate Pietro Agoglia. After months of preparation and a final test session at Misano, the duo is ready to embark on this new adventure, both in the Sprint and Endurance series. <\/p>\n<p>The three free practice sessions will be held on Friday at 11:50 a.m., 4:50 p.m., and 7:05 p.m. Qualifying will take place on Saturday at 9:55 a.m. and 10:15 a.m. The first race will take place at 5:30 p.m. the same day, followed by Race 2 at 3:30 p.m. on Sunday.
